Match Essentials
• Fixture: New York City FC at New England Revolution
• Date/Time: Sunday, 4:30 PM ET
• Venue: Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, MA
New York City FC travel to Foxborough on Sunday to face the New England Revolution. Caleb Porter’s side have enjoyed an impressive campaign and sit fourth in the Eastern Conference, making Gillette Stadium a difficult road trip for Pascal Jansen’s team.
The match also presents an opportunity for New York City. The club have shown they can compete with the league’s best this season, and a victory against one of the East’s top teams would provide a response to recent results while strengthening their playoff position.
Form Guide and History
Last season, Gillette Stadium proved an unhappy venue for New York City, as goals on either side of halftime gave the Revolution a 2-0 victory.
Historically, there has been little to separate the two clubs. Across 30 meetings, New York City and New England have each won 11 times, while eight matches have ended in draws. New England have scored one more goal than New York City across those encounters.
The Revolution were the opponent for New York City’s first MLS victory in 2015, when David Villa and Patrick Mullins scored. The clubs also met in the 2021 Eastern Conference Semifinals, when New York City defeated New England on penalties en route to lifting MLS Cup.
